Microsoft Surface Go 2
Key specs
Critic consensus
“The Surface Go 2 is still a compact companion and very versatile thanks to the full-fledged Windows version. The screen is very good and we also like the optional keyboard. The Surface Go 2 will definitely attract some customers, but many casual users should consider an ARM tablet like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 or Apple iPad Air, because they are serious alternatives with more performance and longer battery runtimes.”
“The Microsoft Surface Go 2 is an excellent affordable Windows 10 tablet that features a premium design found in the company's more expensive devices. It offers a slight bump in performance over the original, but it is still rather underpowered – especially the base model. Once you start kitting it out with improved internals and essential add-ons like the Type Cover, the price starts to climb.”
“With long battery life, thin bezels and decent performance, the Microsoft Surface Go 2 addresses the shortcomings of its predecessor, but don’t expect a miracle from this $399 tablet.”
“The Microsoft Surface Go 2 is a fantastic little Windows tablet for entertainment and light workloads. The setup can become quite pricey once you throw in Microsoft's accessories, but it's still an attractive and affordable entry point into the Surface line-up.”
